Valkyrie no Densetsu/Stage 8
Once Valkyrie and Kurino Sandra land upon the ground after jumping off the edge of that eighteenth static iceberg at the end of the seventh stage, start walking forward by pushing the joystick into the "northern" position as two Eater Plants come bouncing towards you while firing their petals at you; once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at both of them to kill them, they will each leave a small "magic bubble" (which are worth half a circle on your magic meters) behind. Once you have collected them both, two more Eater Plants will come bouncing towards you while firing their petals at you - and once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at both of them, to kill them, they will each leave a small "magic bubble" behind. Once you've collected them both three more Eater Plants will come bouncing towards you while firing their petals at you; once you've fired enough shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them they'll each leave a small "magic bubble" behind. Once you've collected them all, you will have to jump onto a horizontally-moving square platform in the black ocean ahead of you before proceeding to jump onto another solid platform - and once you have done so, you will come to four Talos, which are randomly charging around. Once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they'll each leave a small coin (worth five in gold), behind; once you collect all these, eight Blue Demons will appear around Valkyrie and Sandra, and start dancing around them in an anticlockwise direction, while spitting blue fireballs at them. Once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them (they'll not leave anything behind) you'll have to continue walking to the left by pushing the joystick into the "western" position, before proceeding to jump onto either of two more horizontally-moving square platforms in that black ocean - and once you have done so, you must jump onto a fourth vertically-moving square platform in that black ocean, then jump up to one of two more horizontally-moving square platforms in the black ocean. Once you've done so you will have to jump up onto a third solid platform and continue walking forward by pushing the joystick into the "northern" position, as four Gold Robotians come walking towards you while firing lasers from their heads at you; once you fire enough shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them (again, they'll not leave anything behind), three Dadatta will come walking towards you while swinging their maces around before throwing them at you. Once you have fired off enough shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coin behind - and once you have collected them all three more Dadatta will come walking towards you while swinging their maces around before throwing them at you. Once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them they will each leave a small coin behind; once you have collected them all four more Gold Robotians will come walking towards you while firing lasers from their heads at you. Once you have fired enough shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them (once again, they'll not leave anything behind), you will have to continue walking to the right by pushing the joystick into the "eastern" position and jump on a vertically-moving raft in the black ocean - and once you have done so, you will have to jump onto a second vertically-moving raft in the black ocean before proceeding to jump onto a fourth solid platform. Once you have done so, you will have to continue walking to the right by pushing your joystick into the "eastern" position as four Gray Goblins emerge from the ground and start walking towards you (while throwing three of their spears at you); once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of these to kill them, they will each leave a small coin behind. Once you have collected them all four more Gray Goblins will emerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing three of their spears at you - and once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them they will each leave a small coin behind. Once you have collected them all, you will have to continue walking forward, by pushing the joystick into the "northern" position, as four more Gray Goblins emerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing their red bombs at you - and once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they'll each leave a small coin behind. Once you have collected all these, four more Gray Goblins will emerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing three of their spears at you; once you've fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them they'll each leave a small coin behind. Once you've collected them all, four more Gray Goblins will emerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing their red bombs at you - and after you fire one shot from your sword or trident at each of them, to kill them, they'll each leave a small coin behind. Once you have collected all these, you will have to continue walking to the left by pushing the joystick into its "western" position as four more Blue Demons come dancing towards you while spitting fireballs at you; once you've fired enough shots from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them (yet again, they shall not leave anything behind), you will have to jump onto a seventh vertically-moving square platform in the black ocean before jumping onto a fifth solid platform. Once you've done so, you will have to continue walking to the left by pushing the joystick into its "western" position as six Green Tolento come running towards you while waving their tentacles around - once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them they will each leave a small coin and a small "magic bubble" behind. Once you have collected all these, six Orange Honorians will come hovering towards you; once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coin behind. Once you have collected them all, you will come to four chests (two red and two green) - the two green ones contain a Bomb and Homing Shot respectively, but the two red ones contain eight more Orange Honorians each so you must be ready to fire a shot from your sword or trident at each of these to kill them, once you've collected both of the special weapons. They'll each leave a small coin behind when killed, and once you've collected them all you'll have to continue walking to the right by pushing the joystick into its "eastern" position as a Kumo comes hovering towards you while dropping lightning bolts on you; once you have utilized the Big spell and caused enough tremors to it after jumping and landing to kill it, it will leave one large coin (worth twenty in gold), behind. Once you have collected it, you will have to continue walking forward by pushing the joystick into the "northern" position as two more Eater Plants bounce towards you while firing their petals at you - and once you have fired enough Bomb or Homing shots from your sword or trident at both of them to kill them they'll both leave a small "magic bubble" behind. Once you have collected them both two more Eater Plants will bounce towards you while firing their petals at you; once you have fired enough Bomb or Homing shots from your sword or trident at both of these to kill them they will both leave a small "magic bubble" behind. Once you have collected them both, you will have to continue walking to the right by pushing the joystick into its "eastern" position and jump onto an eighth vertically-moving square platform in the black ocean before jumping onto a sixth solid platform - and once you have done so, you will come up to a third red chest (which contains a randomly-generated amount of gold) and a third green chest (which contains a 4-Way Shot). The song you hear of from the Yamaha YM-2151 will now change.
Once you've opened both of the chests and collected the feathers, four Blue Kaoxes will home in on you (while gnashing their teeth rapidly); once you have fired enough 4-Way shots from your sword (or trident) at each of them to kill them, they will each leave four small coins behind. Once you collect them all, four more Gray Goblins will emerge from the ground and start walking towards you while throwing three of their spears at you - and once you have fired a 4-Way shot from your sword or trident at each of these to kill them, they'll each leave a small coin behind. Once you've collected them all, four Gray Tatta will walk towards you while throwing their red boomerangs at you; once you fire off a 4-Way shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them they'll each leave a small coin behind. Once you've collected them all you'll come to a fourth green chest (which contains a Through Shot) and a fourth red chest which contains a Red Kaox - so you must be ready to fire a shot from your sword or trident at the Kaox to kill it once you have collected the spear. It'll leave four small coins behind when killed, and once you've collected them all, you'll have to continue walking forward by pushing the joystick into the "northern" position as two groups of seven Black Fly Drills come flying towards you in curved lines from the left and right sides of the screen; once you've fired a Through shot from your sword or trident at each of them to kill them, they will each leave a small coin behind. Once you've collected them all, you'll have to jump onto five more horizontally-moving platforms in the black ocean in turn before proceeding to jump onto a seventh and final solid platform - and once you've done so, you'll have to continue walking forward, by pushing the joystick into the "northern" position as four more Gray Goblins emerge from the ground then start walking up towards you while throwing three of their spears at you. Once you have fired a shot from your sword or trident at each of these to kill them, they will each leave a small coin behind; once you have collected all these, Kamuzu will emerge from the whirlpool in the centre of the final island and speak the Hiragana text of Yoku koko made kita! Shikashi koko ga omae-tachi no haka ba to naru noda! (よくここまできた! しかし ここが おまえたちの はかばと なるのだ!) to Valkyrie and Sandra once he has noticed them. The song heard from the Yamaha YM-2151 will then change again as he starts to attack Valkyrie and Sandra by throwing medium-sized fireballs at them from his top-left arm, throwing big red boomerangs from his top-right arm, and punching out with his bottom-left arm (while shielding himself, with his bottom-right arm) - and once you've fired enough Through shots from your sword or trident at him to enrage him his head will transform into that of a goat as he starts throwing more mediumsized fireballs and big red boomerangs while punching out and shielding himself more frequently. Once you have fired enough Through shots from your sword or trident at him, to defeat him, he'll leave ten small coins and ten money bags (worth fifty in gold) behind; once you've collected all these, Valkyrie and Sandra will jump high into the air and hover in place once they have reached the height of their leap. The screen will now fade out, and you'll receive a 20000-point bonus (and 1600 in gold) - and you can now sit back and enjoy the ending as its theme starts to be heard from the Yamaha YM-2151, which depicts all seven of the game's cutscenes in reversed order (but with different captions).
After the credits have finished, the game will go into high-score mode; your scores will most likely be the two highest ones on the cabinet to date, so you should enter your names at the top of the game's "LORD" table (which only shows the four highest-scoring players, as the fifth- to tenth-highest-scoring ones are shown on its lower "BRAVES" table) with pride, regardless of your positions. Once you have done so, the game will go back into attract mode.
